Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |

Customize It Instructions

  • If using roasted chicken breast, remove from packaging and microwave until warm, 1-2 minutes. Add to salad and combine.

  • If using chicken breasts, pat dry, and season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Cook until chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 5-7 minutes per side. Add to salad as desired.

    Make the Salad

    Thoroughly rinse any fresh produce and pat dry. Combine chickpeas and hot sauce (to taste) in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until warmed through, 30 seconds. Toss spinach, cabbage, and carrots with dressing. Top with chickpeas and blue cheese, crumbling with your hands, if needed. Bon appétit!
